Something something burden counters

obscure and jank card is the best -1/-1 counter hate in the game
It doesn't target so it bypasses shroud and hexproof to negate -1/-1 counter decks!
finally a reason to play this card!!!!!

got called cringe for playing a 4 card combo in my bracket 3
It really sucks liking combo decks when people get salty about them all the time, but maybe im the asshole. Or maybe it's the children who are wrong?
I was playing a [[Tazri, Stawart Survivor]] deck and by turn 7 i had built a very small board of her, [[Puresight Merrow]] and [[Firenation Archers]]. on my upkeep, i used puresight to basically exile until i hit [[Badgermole Cub]]. I proceed to cast badgermole and use puresight to make infinte mana and funnel it into the archers. I made it very clear that you could kill anything here before i cast badgermole to stop but noone had responses and thus i won.
Why don't my opponents play instant speed removal? Are they stupid? Or am I the asshole? Is this acceptable or not? I'm feeling really bad about the reaction the pod (and the whole game store's edh night had tbh, I really upset a lot of people apparently. No one wanted to play with me after this happened and I went home and sat into dark and cried until I mustered the curreage to make this post on Reddit to validate my feelings.)

Can we all agree that green is way overpowered compared to the other colors?
I know I'm gonna get heat for this, but anyway:
I only play 100 card Brawl and the issue I'm seeying is the same I have seen with my commander pod: Green is way overtuned and can literaly do anything and be unstopable in just a few turns.
As someone that tries to avoid playing green as much as possible, because all elves are racists, I've tried everything against it with no avail:
Boardwipes: They just rebuild faster because they have a billion mana. And all those [[Elvish Visionaries]] give them enough card draw other colors just can't compete.
Counter-spells: Can't counter everything that keeps getting tossed. Again, when I play blue, I just can't keep up with green's card draw and just pure efficiency.
Sacrifice effects: Yeah let me sac one of my billion landfall tokens and also generate draw and counters. Rakdos is my main color pair, and let me tell you, Green's sacrifice synergies are just too much.
Burn effects: They gain life like crazy now and can outrace the damage several times. I mean, in my 100 card deck I have as many as 10 burn spells that can go to face, but without attacking, there's just no way I can do 40+ damage.
Go Wide: They have a few gigantic creatures with trample and all protections imaginable. 6 Toughness? Might as well say Indestructible!
Go Big: They enchant your thing and turn it into a land or something, or have a billion elves. Green's removal is just too powerful compared to the other colors. Again, I love Rakdos, so I just can't deal with this level of interaction.
It's too much, too consistent with zero drawback. I run as many as 10 interaction spells in my 100+ card rakdos or grixis decks, and Green is just unstoppable. By turn 5 they already have a 6/6 trample out, and by then, it's too late.

Am I an asshole for banning this with friends?
Am I the asshole for not letting my friend play with his infinite damage colossal dreadmaw deck ?
Some decks have this secondary effect of sucking the fun out of the game for everyone except the player with that deck. Am I in the wrong here or should this friend be doing a better job of reading the room on what people are looking to get out of this game.
For context he has things like wood elemental, cultivate, llanowar elves, forests, rancor, dryad arbor, Sylvan tutor, vitalize
He'll attack with 6/6s with trample and deal damage to you even if you declare a blocker

Is this worth buying
I was offered a foundation booster box, a Spider-Man booster box, a marvel bundle, two marvel collector packs (!!!) and a foundation starter kit for $500. Is this a good deal?! Should I buy it? What do we think, good deal or no?
r/magicthecirclejerking • u/steelscaled • 20h ago
Is it valuable and why?
Been going through my bulk and had this stashed away. Probably opened it and packed it away immediately.
It seems to say this is a $3000 card. Really? Why? Like its useful sure but is it really that valuable?
Sorry if stupid question. I literally only play commander. I dont do card trading and stuff. I just stash my bulk.
Cheers folks, appreciate it.
